RECEPTION

‘Poetry,’ I am in the middle of declaring
to a bunch of unbelieving assholes
in walking-costume, ‘doesn’t drop from the sky.’
And hey, you know what, all of a sudden,
and you could call it poetizing, poetry
comes falling from the sky.
Luckily nobody else saw it.

RECEPTIE

‘Poëzie’, sta ik te beweren
tegen een paar ongelovige klootzakken
in wandeltoilet, ‘komt niet uit de lucht vallen.’
En ineens zeg komt er, je zou het
poëtiseren kunnen noemen, poëzie
uit de lucht vallen.
Gelukkig dat niemand het zag verder.
